C, SATURDAY JUNE 18, 19C4. ales of the _L own John Houston's effort to create the ���impression that he is beincr boycotted is a source of much merriment among businessmen. No one believes for a moment that the men lie accuses of trying to'ruin his business are making any such attempt. Theyhave too much 'work of their own to.look after to busy themselves with-the affairs of the ' Tribune. However, Mr. Houston pursues his old-time practice of working up sympathy. In this he is not succeeding very well. No one has much sympathy for a crawler, and tiiis is precisely what the editor of the Tribune is proving himself to be. He abuses men who have no opportunity of defending themselves, and then asks the public to pity the sorrows of a poor old man who is being persecuted. Even if the Tribune was boycotted, and this condition exists only iti the imagination of its editor, Houston has no reason to expect sympathy, and lie should-take his medicine like a man. When Dell-Smith was in reality boycotted by the citizens of Ymir he didn't cringe and pray for quarter. He fought to a finish and never squealed, and in this way won respect, even of the people who were throttling him. With John Houston it is different. He shouts before he is attacked. ' Tito romance which has so many years surrounded Miss Annie Laurie has been dissolved, the youg lady having beon married iu Cranbrook last week. The gentleman who was so fortunate as to wiirthc hand of the the young lady'about which thebal- ladist has written " he'd lay mo down and dee," was Robert J. Laurie. Tlie bride contrary to tradition, came from Chatham, Out., and there is nothing to show that she ever lived atMaxwel- ton's braes or even in that vicinity. The committee in charge of the Dominion Day celebration' has already presented its programme to the public, and it must be said in all honesty that it is one well calculated to attract visitors to Nelson on that day. Apparently nothing that will tend to add, to _the enjoyment of-tbe-visi tors-has-been overlooked. - Nelson -has enjoyed^for years the distinction .of looking well after her visitors, and no doubt the Hospitality that will* be displayed on this occasion will be a repetition of what has been done in the past. Dr. Giliier, of Jaffray, writes a letter to th,e Ciunbrook Herald asking that paper to ^eulogize the jury and judge officiating in the trial of himself for murder in which he was acquitted. He also asks the Herald to say a good word for the Crown prosecutor, Mr. McCann, and principally the lawyer for the defence, S. S. Taylor, who, as the erratic doctor expresses it, " bas considerably relieved that undesirable reputation of nullity and dishonesty of the profession to which he belongs." three McDonald Brothers. The former perform upon horizontal bars, placed at the top of the huge tent. With such precision of time and accuracy they repass each other and with giant swings toss between them two other members of the troupe. It is an achievement bordering on the miraculous and requires the greatest possible strength, skill, daring, courage and grace. The McDonald Brothers are a trio of sensational trick cyclists.^ Upon one, two and three wheels, they go through wonderfully intricate man- oeuvers, riding backwards and forwards "on one wheel; riding blindfolded, riding at breakneck speed down long flights of stairsand going through many other difficult evolutions. The acts make a realiy marvelous spectacle and it is but two_acts of this nature which Norris and Rowe have provided for the entertainment of the public this season. - The shows will exhibit at Nelson Tuesday June 28th. The engagement ls announced in Victoria, B. C, of Right Rev. William Wilcox Perrin, D. D., bishop of British Columbia, to Miss Isoline Harriet Moore, daughter of James Bailey, of Westwood park, Southampton, England. Bishop Perrin was educated at King's college, Londori,*and Trinity college, Oxford, and was vicar of St. Luke's Southampton, from 1881-83. In the'latter year he was consecrated Bishop of British Columbia in Westminster Abbey. Bishop Perrin leaves ;Victoria for England in July, and the marriage will take place immediately, after his arrival." Complaint has been made to this paper that at several of the recent public and private parties in Nelson, the music was furnished by men who make their living by playing the piano in questionable resorts. If this is the case, it should be discontinued. It is not well that respectable .young women should be brought into communication in any way with men who are so low in the social scale as to earn their living in houses of ill-repute. Nothing in theworldcaniustify" a"eomrnittee~in selecting social lepers to supply the music at a party patronized by respectable people. The noise in the gallery at the theatre the other evening during the performance given by the Pauline Johnston company was simply exasperating. In the middle of one recitation, Walter MeRaye was compelled to stop, to the great annoyance of not only the elocutionist, but the audience as well. The management have tried everything in the way of moral suasion on the youngsters who are responsible for this disturbance, and it seems now the best thing to do would be to have them brought up before Police Magistrate Crease. Possibly a fine might induce the parents to impart a little instruction to their offspring. A visitor, from Victoria to Nelson this week is responsible for the state- merit that no city in Canada approaches the Kootenay metropolis in the beauty of its surroundings. This gentleman has recently been in Eastern Canada, and he says that during.his visit to the" various cities there he failed to see any gardens that came up to the ones we have here in Nelson. -'.'������' . JAL -' -.' Among the multitude of startling circus novelties and trained animal acts which Norris and Rowe are offering this season wifh their new big two ringed and.elevated stage shows, there are two that stand out with more than ordinary prominence. Tbey are the Gardner family of six persons and the In illustration of the different ways in which foreigners regard money, a story is told about a gang of Sweedes who were employed on the construction of the Temiskaming railway. After laboring faithfully for some months they thought last fall it was time to celebrate. They went to a near-by town, but it was too small. They straightway went to North Bay, chartered a Pullman car aud went to Montreal, where they remained as long as the cash lasted. Then lhey returned to work. On the other hand, other nationalities���the Italians for instance ���carefully retain their money until they have enough to go home on or for some other purpose. The following is the Hansard report of the premier's reference to Lord Dun- nonald as a foreigner and the comments made thereupon in the subsequent debate : Sir Wilfrid Laurier���Lard Dundonald, in his position, i.s charged with the organization of the .militia, but he must take counsel here when organizing a regiment. He is a foreigner��� no ��� Some hon. members���No, no. Sir Wilfrid Laurier��� L.hacl withdrawn tho expression beforo hon. gentlemen interrupted. He is not a foreigner, but he is^a stranger. Some hon. members���No. Mr. Fowler���I was somewhat surprised at the statement which fell from the lips of the prime minister today. It is to be said -by-thc prime minister of a British colony, that a man of British birth and of British parentage, when becomes to a colony of Great Britain, is a foreigner. The prime minister when he used the word saw that he made a great mistake. A man who had shed his blood for this great empire ; a man whose ancestors for many generations back have fought and bled to the upbuilding of this great empire of ours ; such, a mau to be characterized by the prime minister of a British colony as a foreigner��� An hon- member���Oh ! Mr. Fowler���Who says oh ? I can quite understand a remark of that kind coming from an hon. gentleman opposite. I have read of the words the prime minister has uttered. I can understand something of the feeling that actuates him towards British generals and British officers,* but, sir, thank God, that feeling is not widespread throughout the Dominion of Canada. The prituo minister amended the word "foreigner" by calling the general officer commanding a stranger. Dundonald, the man whose ''name is a household word throughout Canada, to be called a stranger in Canada. The amendment was very little better than the original in the mouth of tlie prime minister. No, Mr. Speaker, Lord Dundonald is neither a stranger-nor a foreigner on any soil where the British flag floats. '"~ Col. Hughes���Another statement of the first minister was thi3. He referred to Lord Dundonald as a foreigner and a stranger. Let me tell the right hon. gentleman that Lord Dundonald is a Britisher and so are all Canadians, irrespective of language, race or nationality. We are all Britishers, sir, and mark you we intend to remain Britishers. It was Britain which has peopled this country, and let me tell the right hon. tho First Minister that we intend it shall remain British. It shall not be annexed to the United States. It shall not become independent of Britaiu because tlie people who never hesitated to come to the front in times of necessity have decided that it will remaiu British if they know their business. Let me tell you, sir, further that Canadians owe allegiance first to the empire of which Canada forms a part, and tbat they intend remaining British ; and should the time ever arrive when any Canadian government will demand the allegiance of Canadians to an independent Canada on the one hand in preference to the old empire, including Canada, on the other, the rebel will be he who declines to stand by the old British empire. I think, judging by the general conduct of these gentlemen, that the time has arrived when we may as well lay down the law to them; and if the time should ever come when these hon, gentlemen will undertake to bring about such a condition of affairs as they would lead us to believe they have in view, they will Had that they will have to depend on horses alone and that it will require something moro than horses to accomplish what they desire. Let mc tell the right hon. the Frst Minister furthermore 'that Lord Dundonald is no foreigner and no stranger in this Dominion. The Nelson city band is an organization that should be encouraged. The membership is made up of local talent exclusively, and for the past year everything that could be done in the way of persistent practice to make the band a success has been done. As a result of this practice, there is a marked improvement in the playing. It is something of an undertaking to finance an organization of this character, and it is doubtful if it could be held together if the orchestra did not add to the revenue by giving da noes, etc., In future street concerts will be given every Wednesday eueuing. These concerts will take place at- the corner of Baker and Ward streets as soou as the break in the street at that point is mended. Tt was expected:that before this time the band stand would have been erected, but this also is probably due to the bad condition of the street at the point before mentioned. There is work ahead for the lawyers. The survivors of those who lost their lives in the 'Clallam disaster, last January, are arranging to sue tlie Puget Sound Navigation Company to recover damages. Iu Seattle, on Monday last, Mrs. Bertha Campbell filed a suit in the Federal Court to recover 550,000 damages on account of the death of her husband, Robert Campbell, who went down on the Clallam. This is tlie second suit for that sum against the company for loss of life. It is presumed that the company refused to compromise before the suit was entered. Tlie town of Moyie is again comin? to tho front. The St. Eugene had a payday last week, on which occasion the sum of $25,000 was distributed. Business in the town was brisk, and the morcnanls and hotel men were well satisfied;��� The^Moyie'Leader says tiiere is a splendid .class of men working in the St. Eugene, and that it is safe to. say not a single account was ."jumped" on payday, something that occurred very frequently in former days when tlie mine was running. British Columbia will lose a very able clergyman in the person of Rev. Elliott S. Rowe, D. D., whohas been transferred to the. Hamilton conference. Rev. Dr. Rowe has been in charge of the Metropolitan Methodist Church at Victoria for the last four years, during which time he has preached to large congregations every Sunday. As a pulpit orator he has few equals in the west. He will not leave British Columbia until he fully recovers from his throat ailment. liotel itself would provide all other classes of private baths. As there is no sewerage discharge in Victoria harbor at the present time from the city sewers, nor enough from other sources to do any positive injury to the recurring tide, it would be sufficient to supply these baths with salt water from somewhere near the mouth ofthe harbor, say the C. P. R. property, with a pump of a very low lift, but power enough to fill two baths of, say, 100x50 feet, in a reasonably short time. James Payn, writing in the Illustrated Daily News, declares that if anything comes of the new French rifle which discharges vitriol instead of bullets, there will be a great revolutiou in warfare. Mr. Payne regards it as something amazing that a member of so gallant a natiou should have invented such a weapon. No matter how brave a man may be, he will shrink from going into a battle which may mean hideous disfigurement for life. The Duke of Wellington, -we are told in the Latin Grammar (comic), would "walk among the cannon balls, him not caring one blow" ; but even the great Duke would hardly have exhibited the same indifference to rifles squirting vitriol. No decent-looking soldier will be got to face them ; they will have to be approached backwards. This will entail a new system of drill. Think of a whole regiment charging backwards! If both forces are possessed of this novel weapon, the spec- tacle'will be doubly entertaining. Our ideas will not only be transformed, but inverted. When our warriors return, they will no longer exhibit with pride pride the wound.* they have received iu the front���quite tho reverse; the more behind the belter. " Those between the shoulders (you can see thetn botter than I_can) were received when I carried the vitriol battery, smd those lower down when I voluntered for the forlorn hope." Ancient warriors who have been wounded, as it were, in the old "places will have to make explanations���" It was beforo tlie vitriol days, you see, when we used to face the en emy. '1 . BOUNDARY MINING NOTES. The ci tizen3 of Victoria are beginning to realize the wisdom of making their city a tourist resort in everything that the ten ri. implies. For years tlie question of providing swimming baths has been discussed, but nothing ever carr.e of it. Now tbe proposal i.s again before the people, and an attempt will be made to have swimming baths as an adjunct to the new C. P. R. hotel. A writer in the Victoria papers shows that it would not be a difficult or expensive matter to sink two framed timber cribs behind the C. P. R. hotel, on the James Bay flats, sufficient for a ladies' and gentlemen's swimming bath, and after being sunk, to line these with good concrete and give thern a good finishing coat of fine concrete inside. It is assumed that the Prof. Macoun has made the following important statement respecting the future of British Columbia :" As tlie years roll on and our possessions become developed, the value of this second Britain will come so vividly before the people that men will ask with astonishment why such ignorance of British Columbia prevailed'in the past. To-day there are -100 miles of coast line clothed with a forest growth superior to anything else in the world at present. Its shores, indented with multitudes of harbors, bays and inlets, teeming with myriads of iislV, its rocks and sands containing gold,'iron, silver, coal and various other minerals. And besides all this a climate superior to England in every respect, both as regards heat and moisture, and yet men will ask what is it worth ? I answer 'Worth more than Quebec and all the maritime provinces thrown in.' And sceptics may rest assured that the day is not far distant when my words will be accepted as truth." I'lioenlx Pioneer. Yesterday was the monthly payday at the Granby mines, when theaverage amount of ?40,000 was distributed in wages. James 'Cunningham, owner of the Saloon fraction adjoining the Brey Fogle in Summit camp, has uncovered a good body of Iron ore. A shipment is shortly to he made to the Greenwood smelter from the Roderick Dhu, which is under bond to the B. C. Copper Co. W. J. Porter, who is still working the Iron Clad, Wellington camp, on the big showing that was recently uncovered, says that it is improving, and also shows some galena. After but two days shutdown on account of a break of 50 feet in the flume, the six furnaces at the Granby smelter were blown in again last Sunday night. Additional electric power from Cascade was requisitioned. Alex Miller and associates, who have a bond on the Helen, near Greenwood, and are forming a company to take over that high"grade'claim, recently made a rich find in the tunnel iu the property, the lead being about 14 inches in width. The time for deposit of old Montreal & Boston stock with the Knicker- bocker Trust Co., of New York, under the plan of merger with Brooklyn group, Morrison, Emma and Athelstan mines, has beeu extended 30 days till June 30th. -The shares are-reported to have been coming in freely. Current was this week for the first time turned ou tho double high tension electric line, froni Phoenix to Greenwood which will supply the Greenwood smelter with power. In a few clays the electrical machinery at' the smelter will be tested, and on or before the first of July those reduction works should be entirely operated by electrical machinery. Work has been started on the tramway at the Granby mines which will eventually "coifnect"the Nor_4"tu7TTiel with the large ore bins that will be erected i ti' the centre of the city.

EDITORIAL COMMENT. ul( a man die shall he live again ?" This most important of all questions has recently been the subject of a Harvard lecture by Dr Osier of Johns Hopkins university, a naturalist and physician of worldwide fame, whom President Eliot introduced as one who in certain specialties stands at the head of bis ' profession. The doctor is a Canadian by birth, being one of the distinguished fain'ly of that name, of Toronto. Dr. Osier presented both the agnostic and the orthodox sides of the subject. He dwelt upon the lethargic state ofthe multitude in regard to the problems of the future life, aud the wide prevalence of the material sentiment, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." He gave the testimony of hundreds of deathbeds to prove that men die as they live ; that few die in terror of any future retribution, and fewer still with any rapture of anticipation. Yet he regarded these facts as only evidence that people are less confident and more reticent in regard to the future life than they used to be. He held the evolutionary hypothesis responsible for the weakening of belief iu the ancient creeds, and declared that so far as science knows, the life of the mind ceases with' the death of the body. Jts teaching makes the race everything, the individual nothing. Yet, despite the teaching of materialists whose knowlekge is derived through the senses, despite that scientific spirit which now dominates public opinion, Dr. Osier declares himself one of the mystics and idealists who see with the eye of faith. He would pay due respect to tbe emotions and intuitions, and allow the heart to dominate the head. He finds that the fruit of lives ruled by the hope of immortal destiny aud faith in another world that shall make these odds of life all even, is far better than that of the pessimists and agnostics. With Lowell be avows himself "Happy is the right To love God's darkness as his light." Realizing that the finite mind cannot fathom the infinite, he is content to trust where perfect knowledge is denied him. He would have men recover the lost secret of combining feeling with intellect without allow ing either reason or emotionalism to go too far. He ���is-stire-that-the- world cf-lc-day-will-noi-be-satisfied with any solution of the other life which does not fuake it a reasonable as well as longed-for ideal. He repudiates that cult called Spiritualism, but shows an indulgent fittitude toward the society of Physical Research. He predicts that science, which is now inclined to scofFat this organization, will one day be its ally. This result must must be brought about by the collecting of facts and the weighing of evidence in regard to the spirit life. Dr. Osier hopes that the evidence collected by the society may in time prove such as to justify its submission to a representative committee of the National Academy.of Science. crate his own "bishops," to the loud indignation of I his brother Charles. Although handicapped by I03*- j alty to King George during the War of Independence, and by siding with the south iu the Civil War ���one of the Bishops actually became a Confederate general and was killed in battle���the Episcopal Church is stated to be making more rapid progress than any other denomination iu the United States. Canada cannot afford to give a million aud a half to Senator Co c and his friends for the privilege of having another transcontinental line constructed, but it can expend that sum on the railway and ruu it in the interests of the people. In the event of Canada being attacked by a foreign power, to whom would she turn for advice and assistance ? To a man like S3 dney Fisher, the agriculturist, or Lord Dundonald,, the -distinguished soldier of the'Empire? The Archbishop of Canterbury has definitely decided lo accept the invitation of the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in America to visit the United States this antumn for the general convention. Previous ArchLishcps cf Canterbury have snubbed. American Episcopalians, and Bishop Sea- bury, their first Bishop, derived his "succession " from the Scottish Episcopate.
